The Force Unleashed gets comic & novel adaptation

Lucasfilm merchandising machine goes into overdrive
Proving you don't need to make more Star Wars movies to keep the merchandising vehicle moving, Titan Books has confirmed that The Force Unleashed will receive both an official novelisation and comic book adaptation in the next couple of months.

From August 22, Star Wars fans - or anyone, for that matter - will be able to buy a graphic novel or a hardback book chronicling the story of Darth Vader's secret apprentice.

Hopefully, we'll also get to see exactly how a skin-head has the power to cause a Star Destroyer to crash whilst Yoda can't even walk across a room without using a walking stick.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - the game - is currently dated for September 19.

I thought that was the plan all along - It was going to be sold like a new film, only without the film, similar to what thay did with Shadows Of the Empire in 1996.

It's also getting Action Figures, Miniatures & everything else you get merchandise wise, probably even T-shirts!

Lucas is becoming a joke. He had one brief moment of genius when creating the SW movies and hes milking it sore.

Why the hell is it called Lucas Arts anyway? "Lucas Arts" would imply that theirs some new, creative, original ideas from Lucas. When infact hes an uninspired, lazy, average script writer with an insatiable greed.


What happened to Monkey Island? Grim Fandango?
